Custom Gates and Entrances

Frequently Asked Questions – Gates & Entrances

Do I need a permit to install a gate or entrance?
Permit requirements vary by municipality, as each has its own building codes. In most cases, the property owner is responsible for securing the necessary permits and paying any related fees. However, Superior Fence Company of San Antonio can handle the permit process for you as part of our service. Your representative can answer any questions and ensure your project complies with local regulations.

How tall can my gate or fence be?
Most municipalities allow a maximum fence height of six feet, but zoning rules can differ depending on your neighborhood or property type. Your Superior Fence Company representative can help you determine the correct height allowed for your area.

How long will my gate or entrance last?
The lifespan of a gate or fence depends on factors like material quality, weather exposure, and regular maintenance. For example, a quality cedar fence can last 20 years or more. We’ll explain the benefits and warranties of different materials so you can choose the right option for your needs.

What materials do you use for gates and entrances?
We use only high-quality materials that fit your budget, whether you’re looking for rock, stucco, brick columns, or wrought iron gates. We aim to build gates and entrances that are durable, beautiful, and long-lasting. Your representative can share the brands, sources, and warranties for all materials used.

Do I need to be at home during installation?
You do not have to be present while we install your gate or entrance. We just ask that you provide a reliable contact phone number so we can reach you if questions or unexpected issues arise during the project.

What warranties do you offer?
We provide a 90-day workmanship warranty—one of the best in the industry. Material warranties vary depending on the products you select. Your Superior Fence Company representative will explain all applicable warranties for your chosen materials.
